SUPPORT WHERE NEEDED
Norfolk encourages and welcomes filming & productions of all sizes.
When working with the Council – depending on where you are in the county,
it will effect which is the right council department to talk to about
filming on council owned or managed land.
With over 35 years of experience working in the film and television industry across the region, Norfolk Locations is a trusted and highly experienced location management company. We maintain strong working relationships with local councils and all key authorities involved in enabling filming on their land.
Navigating Norfolk’s Districts
Norfolk is divided into seven local districts, each with its own unique process for handling filming requests. Our experienced team understands the intricacies of each district’s requirements and can guide productions of all sizes through every stage of the permissions process.
Beyond the District Level
In many cases, additional approvals may be required. Town councils, parish councils, and local committees often have jurisdiction over specific areas within the districts. Thanks to our extensive regional knowledge and long-standing relationships with these groups, we’re able to manage these additional layers on your behalf—saving you time and effort.
Our Process
Our approach is designed to be clear and efficient:
Consultation → Specification → Application → Confirmation
HIGHWAYS & PUBLIC ROAD FILMING
If your production involves filming on public roads, Norfolk Highways—a department of Norfolk County Council—must be consulted. Any use of the public highway requires formal permission.
Norfolk Locations has a proven track record of securing approvals for various types of road-based filming, including:
Road filming permits
Temporary road restrictions
Traffic holds and “stop & go” control
Full road closures
We also assist with resident and business consultations where required. This can include meetings with local committees or residents’ associations, managing communications with residents such as letter drops, and liaising with local businesses to ensure a smooth filming process.
Every street and location comes with its own unique set of requirements. Our in-depth knowledge allows us to advise early on the available options, potential challenges, timelines, and best practices—streamlining your production from planning through to completion.
